The trial run of programming for kids at the Museum Annex during the Autumn Leaves Festival on Saturday proved more than successful, as hundreds of people passed through the doors.

Matt Edwards, executive director for the Mount Airy Museum of Regional History, said early Saturday afternoon, “It’s been great so far.”

The museum partnered with CenturyLink and Rainbow Child Care Center to host “Kids Patch” at the Museum Annex to correspond with the Autumn Leaves Festival on Saturday. The Kids Patch featured a free kids zone where they could make arts and crafts and enjoy a play area, which included mats, tunnels, tricycles, hoops and more.

A highlight of the Kids Patch was two programs, offered at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., by renowned herpetologist and wildlife adventurer Roark Ferguson.
